What is Tapatalk?

Tapatalk is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native mobile application. Tapatalk supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, webOS and Windows Phone 7. It provides super-fast access to your forum and allows your members to participate more in your forum while on the go.

Why Tapatalk?

• Only one MOD installation to support all mobile devices including iPhone, Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry.
• Forum API - build your own app or server-side integration with well-documented Tapatalk API, enjoy quality forum app from third-party developers, beyond what Tapatalk internal team can offer.
• Well-tested. This MOD has been installed in over 23000 forums, including some of the very large forums with 2 million members with over 10,000 online users. This app is designed to scale
• Tapatalk allows you to put your sponsored banner into the app so you don't lose potential revenue **NEW**
• Analytics support - you get too see how many users are accessing your forum from the Tapatalk app

Installation Instruction:

Installation is easy. It does not change any of your forum settings or overwrite any
of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

Step 1

Create yourself an account at http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php. Once you have logged in
to the website, you can download the largest version. If you are not sure you are
using the latest version. Download a new one from
http://www.tapatalk.com/download.php. You can follow the rest of the instruction
from tapatalk.com onward if you want. Otherwise read on:

Step 2

Upload the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside your forum
system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum,
it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.


Step 3

Login to Administration Control Panel (admincp) in your server.
Choose "Style Manager" under "Styles and Templates".
Choose "Edit Template" in your current template.
Click "Edit" in your current template
Choose "headinclude" in the list, click "Edit"
At the bottom of the editor, insert the following line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>
Click "Save".


Step 4

Visit http://www.tapatalk.com/addforum.php to enter your forum URL and upload you forum
logo there. It will allow end-user to find his way to your forum using the Tapatalk
app.

Step 5

Visit http://www.tapatalk.com/manageforum.php to confirm the setup so you can select
whether you want to publish your site to the public listing or you want to set it up
so it is complete private to other end users.

FYI, my site was attacked via malicious script today after installing the latest update of Tapatalk. Found a file named "xmlrpc2.php" in the /include folder.

Not 100% sure yet, our server admins are still investigating. I edited my post to more accurately reflect that it happened after updating TapaTalk, not necessarily as a result of updating it.

Did you guys ever consider giving 1 free license to forum admins? I don't know how this could be integrated into the app store but 1 freebie for admins who go through the trouble of installing this and maintaining it doesn't seem like too much to ask?

No, not at all, the only downside is the Apple redeem code only works for U.S iTunes account, and Google does not provide free code like Apple. Apple allows only 50 codes per version so we can't really commit to all forum owners (there are over 30 forums added to Tapatalk daily...)

What I can do is to publish whole bunch of free codes here in first come first serve basis? But probably it will violidate the vb.org rule of technical only discussion.
